Dispossession

24" x 36" Acrylics on board. OK, in 2007, around 1 AM, I was on my front porch when four drunk jerks showed up looking for a party. When I informed them they had the wrong house they decided to take it out on me physically. I was thrown to the ground and repeatedly choked unconscious while they took turns kicking in my side and punching and repeatedly stomping on my face. After hours of facial reconstruction surgery from a great surgeon (who said the bones in my face "looked like cornflakes") I kind of look the same again. My face and broken ribs eventually healed. The men who did this escaped justice. The police found them that night with blood all over their hands and clothes but let them go because "there were no witnesses." They escaped justice. I couldn't paint for a long time afterwards. This was my attempt to get back into painting again.

Lind Whitby Studios

I paint. I draw. I photograph. I do digital art. I love designing album covers doing all of the above. This will be a collection of all of those with prints available for purchase. I will continually add to these galleries as I finish new pieces.

I am entranced by color and contrasts. This is seen in my work, most of which includes some sort of color play or capture, often including stark contrasts, chiaroscuro, or blends of all three. I am never content to do the same thing over again, but constantly push myself to try new things. This leads to a great variety of what one will see in my work.
